VX-O2 meetup LA at the Peterson 2013

So VxSport forwarded me pictures Sue sent him, and I have to say the most hilarious picture is of the undercarriage, which shows a rusty muffler despite only having 2500-ish miles on the clock and having been stored in a vault for much of its life. I'll post the pic tomorrow if Sue doesn't put it up tonight.

Here ya go. The rusty muffler was one of my favorites too! The Petersen tour guide person told us this "garage" set up was for some Craftsman commerical.

NICE rims, eh Mav??!! I think they're a few shades different than ours, more of a taupe color than the silvery/pearl white of our rims. Very sharp though!

Dave and I both noticed the better handling with the wider offset rims/tires. We have a 6 mile mountain segment at the top of Prescott that's nothing but sharp mountain switchbacks/curves, and the VX was noticeably easier to handle it. I've been through it at least 5 times prior, and this was really easier!

Interior shots:
I really liked the decorative piece on the passenger airbag, and passenger floor area with the 3 raised bars. Nice continuity of the design lines of the ribs on side of door.

This silver logo is on the piece between the two seats, I though it looked cool.



Thought it looked really stupid having the HVAC controls up at the very top of the center stack
Obviously done to move the stereo down to that 3rd section..









And lastly, a big shout out to Baldwin for so much time/work setting this up. It was far more extraordinary than I expected! The VX-O2 was fantastic, but the the entire museum was fantastic. The dossants were very knowledgable and gave us so much interesting info on everything. There were at least 3 cars there I'd never even heard of..now I'm not the ultimate historian, but I do know quite a bit….but never heard of this one…
